1.3 CHECKS BEFORE USE
 Thesechecksshouldbecarriedoutduringinstallationandonafrequentandregularbasisthereafter.Ifthehoistisuseddailythenitis 
 recommendedthattheyarecarriedoutdailyasthecheckstakeonlyminutestocompleteandnotonlyhelpavoidrepairbillsbutsignicantly 
 reducethepossibilityofanaccidentordangerousoccurrence.Thoroughlyexaminetheequipmentpriortoinstallationtoensurethatno 
 damagehasoccurredduringtransit.HoistsandtrolleysshouldnotbealteredinanywaywithoutcontactingRedRoosterforclearance,asthis

AIR SUPPLY CHECKS:
 ▪ Inletpressure:4to6bar(therewillbepressurelossesacrosstheairsetandonlonghoses)Thesupplypressureshouldnot 
  exceed7barasthismaya󰀨ecttheloadlimiter.
 ▪ Airow:Checkairowrequirementandminimumhosediameteralsocheckthatsmallborettingsarenotstranglingtheairow.
 ▪ Keepthelubricatortoppedupwithalightturbineoil(ISOVG3256).
 ▪ Theltershouldbecheckedregularlyandmanualunitsdrainedofwaterasrequired.
 ▪ THE AIR HOSE SHOULD BE SUPPORTED SO THAT THE WEIGHT OF HOSE IS NOT HANGING FROM THE AIR SET AND
FITTINGS. THE AIR SET IS NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE HOSE. SEE PAGES 7 AND 12 IF A HOSE
SUPPORT BRACKET AND MANIFOLD IS FITTED TO THE HOIST.
 ▪ Theairsupplyshouldbecleanandrelativelydry.Wherethecompressorproducesalotofwateractionshouldbetakentoremove 
  theexcesswater.
 ▪ Checkairconnectionsizeandtypearecompatible.
 ▪ Checksecurityofairhoseconnection.
AIR SUPPLY CONNECTION:
 Everyinstallationisdi󰀨erent,sothecorrectmethodofsupportingtheairhoseshouldbereviewedwhileinstallingthehoist.Thisneedsto 
 takeintoaccounttheweightandsizeofthehose,obstructionsbothatdeckandhoistlevel,connections,operatingconditionsandanylikely 
movement of the hoist and air hose.
 Thettingsandlterlubricatorarenotdesignedtotaketheweightofthehose.
 Iftheairsupplyhoselengthisover10metresthehoseIDshouldbeincreasedtothenextsize.
AIR SUPPLY:
 Vanetypeairmotorsaredesignedtofunctionusingclean,dry,lubricatedair.Theinstallationofan‘inline’airserviceunitalthoughessential 
cannot in itself compensate for serious contamination in the air supply. When operating the compressor in moist (humid) or dusty atmospheres
 seektheadviceofyourcompressorsupplierwithregardtothettingofadryerandlter.
AIR PRESSURE:
 Thehoistisdesignedtooperatebestinthepressurerangeof4to6bar(72to90p.s.i).Thespeedsquotedonthemanufacturer’sliterature 
 areobtainableonlyat6bar(90p.s.i)inletpressure.Thehoistwilloperateatmuchreducedspeedatpressuresbelowthisgure.
AIR FLOW:
 Refertothehoistdatasheet,toselectthehosediameterwhichensuresadequateairow.Failuretoprovideadequateairowwillresultina 
 pressuredropinthesupplylineandcausethehoisttostallandthebraketoapplyuntilthepressureincreases.Inaddition,thebrakewillnot 
 releasecleanlyandwilloverheat.(Althoughnotinitselfahazard[thebrakewillfailsafe]itmayprovefrustratingtotheoperatorandahazard 
 mayariseasaconsequence.)
HOSE SUPPORT BRACKET:
 Whereahosesupportbracketandmanifoldhavebeenttedtothehoisttotaketheweightofanairsupplyhose,severalchecksmustbedone.
 ▪ Checkthehosehangsfreelyanddoesnotinterferewiththehoistchain.
 ▪ Checkthehoseisclearoftheloadtobelifted.
 ▪ Checkthependanthoseisnotobstructedbytheairsupplyhose.
 ▪ Checktheairhoseissupportedbythehoseclamp/former/festoonsystem.
 ▪ DOuseexclusivelycorrectlyratedandcertiedpneumatichosesandttingsintheairsupplyline.
 ▪ DOsupporttheairlineuptothehoist,asthettingandlter/lubricatorarenotdesignedtotakealoadandmaynotsupportthe 
weight of the hose.
 ▪ DOmaintaintheinternaldiameter(asperthetablethroughoutthesupplylength)orreducefromthelargerdiametertothe 
smaller diameter in the direction of the hoist.
 ▪ DON’Tusehydraulicttings.Theseoftenhaveareducedoricesizeresultinginadownlinedropinairpressure.
 ▪ DON’Tincreasefromsmallertolargerdiameterorinsertalengthofsmallerdiameterhoseinthesupplylineasthiswillresultin 
 reducedowandpressure.
 ▪ DON’Tcreatelowpointsintheairsupplylinewherewatermaybetrapped(orifunavoidableinstalladraintap).
 ▪ DON’Trelyonpneumaticttingstosupportairlines;theyarenotdesignedforthispurpose.
 ▪ DON’Tshortenthependantbyformingalooporacoil.Thiswillpreventthestrainerwirefromsupportingthependantandwill 
 causethehosestobecomedetachedorkinked.

MOUNTING THE HOIST
 TheairhoistisdesignedasaLIFTINGMACHINEandassuchisdesignedexclusivelyfortheliftingloadsvertically.Nonverticalliftingwill 
result in premature wear of the chain and chain guide and may result in damage to the limit arms or a failure of the limit arms to operate.
 ▪ Sitethehoistimmediatelyabovetheloadwhichistobelifted.
 ▪ Ensurethatthepointfromwhichthehoistissuspendedhasbeendesignedandtestedtoatleastthesamesafeworkingloadas 

CLOSE HEADROOM WORKING
The lower hook of the TMH hoist includes a swivel arrangement. This allows the load to turn without twisting the chain. However, when
 repeatedlyhandlingloadswiththebottomhookclosetothehoist,especiallywhenrotationoftheloadisprevented,thereistendencyforthe 
 chaintoattempttoentertheguideatanangle.Thisisparticularlypronouncedontwofallunits.Ifthisproblemisnoticedwhendoingatriallift,
 ahighqualityballbearingswivelshouldbemountedbelowthebottomhookofthehoist.
CHAIN COLLECTORS
 Ifthehoisthasbeensuppliedwithachaincollectorbagorbucket,andthechainhasbeenstoredwithinitduringshipment,removeallthe 
 chainfromthecollectorbyhand,andremoveanyknotsortwists.
 Inallcasescarefullyfeedthechainovertheloadwheelallowingittollthecollectorwithoutanyinterferenceasitemergesfromthewheel. 

 diagraminsection1.8showsthesetupforbothtypesofcontrolandthelocationonthehoistbody.
 Cordorpendanthoselengthsshouldbelongenoughfortheoperatortostandawayfromundertheloadbutstillwiththecordtogglesorthe 
 pendantsuspendedataheightofaround1metrefromtheoperatinglevel.Wherethecontrolshavetobetothesideofthehoistor  
 wheretheoperatorcannotseetheloadtravellingthefullrangeoftheliftabanksmanshouldbeappointedtoassisttheoperatorusinga 
 reliablemeansofcommunication.
 Bothtogglesonthecordcontrolsshouldbemarkedforcorrectoperationofthehoist.Theemergencystopbuttononthependantcontrol 
 shouldalsobemarked.
1.8 ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Hook suspension with long chain drops.
 Problem:
 Whenalongheavychainistted,andthe‘raise’ispressedwiththehoistinanunloadedcondition,duetothecentrelineofthehoisthaving 
 beena󰀨ectedbytheweightofchain,theupperlimitswitch,mayfailtooperate.Inaddition,theslackloadchainmayonsomemodulesfoul 
the limit lever arms, thus preventing it from returning to the centre (neutral position).
Resolution:
 Ashortlengthofwirerope,6mmdiameter,isttedtothehoistsandbulldoggripshavebeensupplied.
 Suspendthehoistinitsnallocationandwithasmuchchainaspossibleinuse.Applyasmallloadtothehoistandliftitclearoftheground.
 Connectthewireropeslingtothesupportsteelalongsidethetophookusingbulldoggrips.
 Thetensioninthisslingshouldbeenoughtocounteractmostoftheweightoftheslackchainproducedinthefullyraisedposition,butitmust 
 notbetensionedsuchthatitiscarryinganyoftheloadsupportedbythehoist.i.e.ifttedcorrectly,inanunloadedcondition,theslingwillbe 
 tensionedwiththehoistALMOSTintheverticalposition.Whentheloadisapplied,thetensionintheslingwillbeslack.
THE SLING IS NOT CAPABLE OF HOLDING THE LOADS CARRIED BY THE HOIST
